The Prohibition campaign in Texas IS
stirring up that State more than any con-
test of recent years has done. The per-
turbed state of mind of the liquor dealers
can be judged from the appeals they are
making for outside assistance and the
hasty subscriptions made in their favor
among brewers and distillers. But the
saloon is not the only element that is in a
troubled state of mind on account of this
Prohibition campaign. The democracy
fears that it will prove TO be a bridge over
which many thousands OF democrats will
march out of the party never to return.
Their "beastly" majority they supposed
was proof against any such secession, but
the Prohibition movement has become so
formidable. and so many prominent demo-
Gratis have embarked in it, that the demo-
cracy is thoroughly alarmed. The Pro.
hibition amendment may not be carried
in August, but the campaign in its favor
is certain to give Texas beneficial shak
ing up politically Philadelphia Press.

A correspondent of the New York Sun
gives the following reasons which have
led to the migration of the negroes from
South Carolina first the negroes have
lost their political rights; second. the
negroes are unable to obtain Justice at the
courts OF the State; third, they are de
prived of the rightful proportion of their
crops raised upon leased lands. by the
new laws relating to tenantry. When
fully considered these causes are amply
sufficient to impell masses of colored peo-
pie to seek homes where they will not be
subjected to such systematic injustice as
exists in this State. But there is another
side to the subject. In 1860. South Caro-.
lima had a population of 703, 70S; the esti-

The Illinois Legislature has passed a
very severe anti. Conspiracy bill. which
will have a tendency to interfere with the
plans of the anarchists and the socialists
OF Chicago. One of its provisions is
"If two or more persons conspire to over
throw the existing order of society or bring
about local revolution by force or attempt to
overcome the legal authorities of the State
and human being is killed, all persons en-
gagged in such conspiracy and seeking to car
~ into effect their common desire shall be
deemed guilty of the crime committed and
shall be punished according to the laws regu-
lating the commission of said crime"
Had this law been in force it would not
have been necessary to prove who threw
the bomb in the Haymarket Square riot.
All who aided or abetted the deed would
have been alike held guilty. The bill
provides that in order to establish a con-
spiracy it shall not be necessary to prove
THAT the parties CHARGED ever came to-
gether and entered into any agreement to il, and
it shall be sufficient II it appears that the par
ties charged were actually pursuing in con
cert the unlawful purpose, whether acting
separately or together, providing that the
acts of each were knowingly tending to the
same unlawful result"
The effect of this provision. if in force,
would have probably prevented the Hay.
market massacre. The State has been
forced to pass this bill tor the protection
of the public, though its provisions may
seen rather sweeping. and it may be that
before safety from the plotting and fiend-
ish anarchists is procured. still more rig
orous measures will have to be adopted

Women in Unfeminine Employments

Women in Unfeminine EmplOyments.
One Of the most painful features in
metropolitan life is the degradation of
women. do not here refer to any
thing of vicious nature, but simply TO
the effect of extreme poverty. 1t is al
ways pltiable TO see the sex forced to
unfeminine employments. but 1t is a
common thing here. have seen a wo-
man cutting grass with sickle in an
uptown lot in order 10 mako hay for
the winter support of goat ! have
seen woman bring home board from
some demolished building and then try
to break 1t up for fuel by pounding it on
the sidewalk with n stone. | saw an
other woman carrying coal in pail up
three pairs of stairs TO her room in a
tenement house. She had bought q
small load of this article and was thus
storing It away. A large part of the
chffoniers or rag and waste-paper
pickers are women, and what horrid-
looking creatures they are!
On the other hand. n dealer in fash
ions told me that there are hundreds and
even thousands of women who spend
$4,000 annually on dress. 1t may be
difficult to imagine the feelings of this
MISUNDERSTANDING crowd. but how
much more to imagine those of a wo-
man so degraded that a rag picked from
the street is n prize. Taking a general
view, New York life is not favorable to
women. Among the rich the idleness
of luxury wastes its victims into h0lp-
lessness. while among the poor one no
tees that disproportionate degree Of
hardship which so often stamps the
countenance with fearful ugliness.-

FRoM Our REGULAR CoRNEsroNDENT.|
Washington, January 3, 1887.
Both Houses of Congress have been
occupied part Of The week with private
legislation, as the passage of about for
ty.fye pension bills will show ; but I'M
portant public measures have also been
discussed. Among these may BE- nien-
toned the great qnes ion Of Interstate
commerce which the Senate expects to
dispose of on Wednesday next, and the
Mexican Reciprocity treaty which IS
treated behind barred doors.
When the bill gran ing a pension OF
$4,000 year to the wild Nv Of Gen. Lo-
gan came up, good deal was said as
to whether or not the Senator'S death
was in any way the result Of wounds
or exposure in the army. Several Sen
ators argued that it was, and Senator
Mitchell mentioned that he had once
heard Gen. Logan say that he did not
intend to ask for it,
About this time Senator Vest Of Mis-
souri, came forward with a G glowing de-
scription of the services to the Union
of Gen. Francis Blair and proposed AL
amendment to increase the pension OF
$50 IA month, now paid to his widow, to
5000 year. This was quite Il sur
prise to some of the Senators, but they
told Mr., Vest they would vote to in
crease Mrs. Blair pension as It srpar
ate measure If he would withdraw his
proposition, Mr. Vest took note c;
these fair promises and resumed his
seat. Then Senator Berry Of Arkan'
sas,, who rarely speaks in the Senate
Chamber, arose to say that If Mrs Lo
gan was to have - U0V year, he did
not see why every widow Of every Of
ticer from Major Generals to Lleutcn
ants should not have the same. He cx.
pressed high regard for the dead 5ena-
tor, but he felt sure that Gen. Logan
himself would not desire his widow to
be put on the pension roll. Shortly
after this the bill passed, but the Ar
kansas Senator did not vote either way.
